2012-07-31ext4: Convert to new freezing mechanismJan Kara
We remove most of frozen checks since upper layer takes care of blocking all writes. We have to handle protection in ext4_page_mkwrite() in a special way because we cannot use generic block_page_mkwrite(). Also we add a freeze protection to ext4_evict_inode() so that iput() of unlinked inode cannot modify a frozen filesystem (we cannot easily instrument ext4_journal_start() / ext4_journal_stop() with freeze protection because we are missing the superblock pointer in ext4_journal_stop() in nojournal mode).

2012-07-23ext4: remove unnecessary superblock dirtyingArtem Bityutskiy
This patch changes the 'ext4_handle_dirty_super()' function which submits the superblock for I/O in the following cases: 1. When creating the first large file on a file system without EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_LARGE_FILE feature. 2. When re-sizing the file-system. 3. When creating an xattr on a file-system without the EXT4_FEATURE_COMPAT_EXT_ATTR feature. If the file-system has journal enabled, the superblock is written via the journal. We do not modify this path. If the file-system has no journal, this function, falls back to just marking the superblock as dirty using the 's_dirt' superblock flag. This means that it delays the actual superblock I/O submission by 5 seconds (default setting). Namely, the 'sync_supers()' kernel thread will call 'ext4_write_super()' later and will actually submit the superblock for I/O. And this is the behavior this patch modifies: we stop using 's_dirt' and just mark the superblock buffer as dirty right away. Indeed, all 3 cases above are extremely rare and it does not add any value to delay the I/O submission for them. Note: 'ext4_handle_dirty_super()' executes '__ext4_handle_dirty_super()' with 'now = 0'. This patch basically makes the 'now' argument unneeded and it will be deleted in one of the next patches. This patch also removes 's_dirt' condition on the unmount path because we never set it anymore, so we should not test it. Tested using xfstests for both journalled and non-journalled ext4.

2012-07-23ext4: make quota as first class supported featureAditya Kali
This patch adds support for quotas as a first class feature in ext4; which is to say, the quota files are stored in hidden inodes as file system metadata, instead of as separate files visible in the file system directory hierarchy. It is based on the proposal at: https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Design_For_1st_Class_Quota_in_Ext4 This patch introduces a new feature - EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_QUOTA which, when turned on, enables quota accounting at mount time iteself. Also, the quota inodes are stored in two additional superblock fields. Some changes introduced by this patch that should be pointed out are: 1) Two new ext4-superblock fields - s_usr_quota_inum and s_grp_quota_inum for storing the quota inodes in use. 2) Default quota inodes are: inode#3 for tracking userquota and inode#4 for tracking group quota. The superblock fields can be set to use other inodes as well. 3) If the QUOTA feature and corresponding quota inodes are set in superblock, the quota usage tracking is turned on at mount time. On 'quotaon' ioctl, the quota limits enforcement is turned on. 'quotaoff' ioctl turns off only the limits enforcement in this case. 4) When QUOTA feature is in use, the quota mount options 'quota', 'usrquota', 'grpquota' are ignored by the kernel. 5) mke2fs or tune2fs can be used to set the QUOTA feature and initialize quota inodes. The default reserved inodes will not be visible to user as regular files. 6) The quota-tools will need to be modified to support hidden quota files on ext4. E2fsprogs will also include support for creating and fixing quota files. 7) Support is only for the new V2 quota file format.

2012-07-22quota: Move quota syncing to ->sync_fs methodJan Kara
Since the moment writes to quota files are using block device page cache and space for quota structures is reserved at the moment they are first accessed we have no reason to sync quota before inode writeback. In fact this order is now only harmful since quota information can easily change during inode writeback (either because conversion of delayed-allocated extents or simply because of allocation of new blocks for simple filesystems not using page_mkwrite). So move syncing of quota information after writeback of inodes into ->sync_fs method. This way we do not have to use ->quota_sync callback which is primarily intended for use by quotactl syscall anyway and we get rid of calling ->sync_fs() twice unnecessarily. We skip quota syncing for OCFS2 since it does proper quota journalling in all cases (unlike ext3, ext4, and reiserfs which also support legacy non-journalled quotas) and thus there are no dirty quota structures.

2012-07-09ext4: fix overhead calculation used by ext4_statfs()Theodore Ts'o
Commit f975d6bcc7a introduced bug which caused ext4_statfs() to miscalculate the number of file system overhead blocks. This causes the f_blocks field in the statfs structure to be larger than it should be. This would in turn cause the "df" output to show the number of data blocks in the file system and the number of data blocks used to be larger than they should be.

Highlights: - Config guards make it impossible to enable the user namespace and code that has not been converted to be user namespace safe. - Use of the new kuid_t type ensures the if you somehow get past the config guards the kernel will encounter type errors if you enable user namespaces and attempt to compile in code whose permission checks have not been updated to be user namespace safe. - All uids from child user namespaces are mapped into the initial user namespace before they are processed. Removing the need to add an additional check to see if the user namespace of the compared uids remains the same. - With the user namespaces compiled out the performance is as good or better than it is today. - For most operations absolutely nothing changes performance or operationally with the user namespace enabled. - The worst case performance I could come up with was timing 1 billion cache cold stat operations with the user namespace code enabled. This went from 156s to 164s on my laptop (or 156ns to 164ns per stat operation). - (uid_t)-1 and (gid_t)-1 are reserved as an internal error value. Most uid/gid setting system calls treat these value specially anyway so attempting to use -1 as a uid would likely cause entertaining failures in userspace. - If setuid is called with a uid that can not be mapped setuid fails. I have looked at sendmail, login, ssh and every other program I could think of that would call setuid and they all check for and handle the case where setuid fails. - If stat or a similar system call is called from a context in which we can not map a uid we lie and return overflowuid. The LFS experience suggests not lying and returning an error code might be better, but the historical precedent with uids is different and I can not think of anything that would break by lying about a uid we can't map. - Capabilities are localized to the current user namespace making it safe to give the initial user in a user namespace all capabilities.

2012-05-21ext4: enable the 64-bit jbd2 feature based on the 64-bit ext4 featureTheodore Ts'o
Previously we were only enabling the 64-bit jbd2 feature if the number of blocks in the file system was greater 2**32-1. The problem with this is that it makes it harder to test the 64-bit journal code paths with small file systems, since a small test file system would with the 64-bit ext4 feature enable would use a 64-bit file system on-disk data structures, but use a 32-bit journal. This would also cause problems when trying to do an online resize to grow the filesystem above the 2**32-1 boundary. Fortunately the patch to support online resize for 64-bit file systems hasn't been merged yet, so this problem hasn't arisen in practice. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

2012-03-20ext4: avoid output message interleaving in ext4_error_<foo>()Joe Perches
Using KERN_CONT means that messages from multiple threads may be interleaved. Avoid this by using a single printk call in ext4_error_inode and ext4_error_file. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2012-03-05ext4: try to deprecate noacl and noxattr_user mount optionsTheodore Ts'o
No other file system allows ACL's and extended attributes to be enabled or disabled via a mount option. So let's try to deprecate these options from ext4. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2012-03-05ext4: ignore mount options supported by ext2/3 (but have since been removed)Theodore Ts'o
Users who tried to use the ext4 file system driver is being used for the ext2 or ext3 file systems (via the CONFIG_EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT23 option) could have failed mounts if their /etc/fstab contains options recognized by ext2 or ext3 but which have since been removed in ext4. So teach ext4 to recognize them and give a warning that the mount option was removed.

2012-03-05ext4: add debugging /proc file showing file system optionsTheodore Ts'o
Now that /proc/mounts is consistently showing only those mount options which need to be specified in /etc/fstab or on the mount command line, it is useful to have file which shows exactly which file system options are enabled. This can be useful when debugging a user problem. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2012-03-05ext4: make ext4_show_options() be table-drivenTheodore Ts'o
Consistently show mount options which are the non-default, so that /proc/mounts accurately shows the mount options that would be necessary to mount the file system in its current mode of operation. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2012-03-04ext4: move ext4_show_options() after parse_options()Theodore Ts'o
This commit is strictly a code movement so in preparation of changing ext4_show_options to be table driven. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2012-03-04ext4: use a table-driven handler for mount optionsTheodore Ts'o
By using a table-drive approach, we shave about 100 lines of code from ext4, and make the code a bit more regular and factored out. This will also make it possible in a future patch to use this table for displaying the mount options that were specified in /proc/mounts. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

2012-03-02ext4: remove the I_VERSION mount flag and use the super_block flag insteadTheodore Ts'o
There's no point to have two bits that are set in parallel; so use the MS_I_VERSION flag that is needed by the VFS anyway, and that way we free up a bit in sbi->s_mount_opts. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2012-03-02ext4: remove Opt_ignoreTheodore Ts'o

2012-03-02ext4: remove deprecation warnings for minix_df and grpidTheodore Ts'o
People complained about removing both of these features, so per Linus's dictate, we won't be able to remove them. Sigh... Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
